Local films new on DVD

Yesterday, two great locally produced films were released on DVD: The much acclaimed, Academy Award nominated documentary Iraq in Fragments (mentioned previously here) and Police Beat, co-written by The Stranger's Charles Mudede (based on his column of the same name), co-written and directed by Robinson Devor (who also did Zoo and a fine film called The Woman Chaser we have for rent in the Murder/Mystery/Suspense section), produced in association with The Northwest Film Forum and filmed right here in Toronto Seattle. Scarecrow salutes these locally made movies and all our homegrown filmmakers. If you can stand to move in this heat, come in and rent (or better yet, buy!) these films today. We've got air conditioning!
